Composition

• Active Ingredient: Nystatin 100,000 units per ml

• Dosage Form: Oral suspension

Therapeutic Class

• Antifungal Agent

• Polyene Antifungal

Indications

Fungistin Suspension is indicated for:

• Oral candidiasis (oral thrush)

• Gastrointestinal candidiasis

• Prevention and treatment of Candida infections of the mouth, throat, and digestive tract

• Fungal overgrowth associated with prolonged antibiotic or corticosteroid therapy

It is effective against Candida albicans and other susceptible Candida species.

Pharmacology

Nystatin exerts its antifungal activity by binding to sterols, particularly ergosterol, in the fungal cell membrane. This binding disrupts membrane integrity, causing leakage of essential intracellular components and leading to fungal cell death. Since nystatin is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when administered orally, its action remains localized, making it ideal for treating superficial fungal infections without systemic side effects.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Fungistin Suspension should be determined by a physician based on the patient’s age and severity of infection.

• Oral candidiasis: The suspension should be retained in the mouth for as long as possible before swallowing

• Adults and children: Usually administered several times daily as prescribed

• Infants: The prescribed dose may be applied inside the mouth using a dropper

The suspension should be shaken well before use to ensure uniform distribution.
